Argentina Grill La Mer offers an authentic Latin American dining experience, serving up Argentinian dishes cooked using traditional techniques. The restaurant is very passionate about introducing diners to its love of parrilla – a type of grill commonly used in this cuisine – claiming that the dishes’ flavours and tastes are accentuated thanks to this approach.
The menu is split into multiple sections, with the Asado section covering grilled meats such as grass-fed Argentinian ribeye steak and Wagyu beef. If that’s not your thing, other main courses include spicy lamb with white mashed beans and chimchurri sauce, or you could try the lamb shank with buttery risotto. Whilst the menu flaunts its selection of meat, there’s plenty of fish and vegetarian options, too. For example, glazed octopus, grilled tiger shrimp prawns and homemade pasta with a seafood medley are favourites for pescatarians, or go completely meat-free with a goats cheese salad, sprinkled with pistachios and drizzled with a honey-lemon dressing.
Of course, while the menu might make you feel like you’re on holiday in Argentina, you are in fact still in Dubai, which is clear when taking in the incredible views from the floor-to-ceiling glass façade. From here, you can marvel at the Dubai skyline which looks especially atmospheric when lit up at night. The décor feels modern and glamorous, perfect for a date or a night out with friends, while still nodding to its Latin American theme. If you want to get excited for your visit, check out the website which shares customer reviews and their top tips with helpful insight, with one guests advising ordering the guacamole because it is theatrically made fresh in front of your eyes. Also, if you’re interested in an even more immersive experience, the restaurant is upping their live music performances and will be hosting singers at different nights throughout the week, so check before booking a table to see whether entertainment will be present.
